I went to prague with 2 friends to see the christmas market. Its free so very Crowded and expensive (local restaurants not so expensive tho). Its a small city but if you have plenty things to do: see the Castel, try absinthery, hot wine, eat all the local stuff etc. You also have 2 Anonymous bar very Nice and different but you have to book earlier (at least a week). You can do everythingg walking. I felt very safe there. I never felt so cold in my whole life (-10°) so prepare yourself !!

Prague is a very safe city, I felt really comfortable during my trip. Of course, like any touristy place, it’s good to stay alert for pickpockets in busy areas, but other than that, everything was great. Among the must-see spots, I recommend visiting Charles Bridge and enjoying the view of the Vltava River, as well as Prague Castle and St. Vitus Cathedral. The Old Town Square with the Astronomical Clock is also a must-see, and Letná Park offers a beautiful view of the city. I’d avoid restaurants too close to Charles Bridge, as they’re expensive and the food isn’t always worth it. Prague’s cuisine is amazing, especially goulash, trdelník, and svíčková. If you want to eat well, go to Lokál Dlouhááá for traditional food or Café Savoy for a delicious breakfast. As for the budget, Prague is pretty affordable. Accommodation costs between €30-€50 per night, and a meal is about €10-€15. Public transport is efficient and costs about €5-€10 per day. In total, about €50-€80 per day is enough to enjoy and explore the city. I stayed at Hotel Botanique, which has a great location and comfortable rooms. Getting around the city is easy; I used the metro and tram a lot, but since the city is compact, it’s also very walkable. One important tip: the transport ticket should be validated ONLY ONCE, and from that time, it’s valid for the duration you selected at the time of purchase. Validating the ticket multiple times, as we do in Paris, will invalidate the ticket and you could get fined. On my itinerary, on the first day, I visited Charles Bridge, Old Town Square, and Letná Park. On the second day, I went to Prague Castle, St. Vitus Cathedral, and ended the day with a boat tour. On the third day, I explored the Jewish Quarter and relaxed with a beer at Riegrovy Sady.

I had a wonderful time in Prague. They have a lot of locals who do tours to less known places in Prague and they were wonderful. I would definitely recommend Ondra and Jakub who do local tours and share great tips for Prague. You can find them on AirBnb. Definitely try to choose restaurants outside of the main square in Old Town, the less touristy, the better. I got scammed in one of the Švejk (famous fictional character in Czech culture) restaurants and the food was worse than horrible. I had the best pizza in Prague in an authentic Italian restaurant. The tiramisu was also excellent. I recommend going up the mountain to the monastery and getting the beer they make on the spot. But also, visit the old library. Kafka and Muccha museums were both great and the prices in Prague were reasonable for me.

I felt really safe in Prague, even by night, me and my friends really enjoyed the city and the contrast between past and future. I surely recommend the city to a solo traveller, because it's pretty cheap (not as much as i expected) and well connected. You mostly pay by card, but remind that some shops accept only cash (rarely). For the most visited places, i recommend booking in advance, as for this reason we couldn't visit the old library. I recommend the Kampa Museum if you love art.♡

I was in Prague before Christmas and the atmosphere was amazing. It was a bit crowded but I think it‘s because of the period that I went. Definitely go to different museums and to the castle. I would not recommend the jellyfish museum - nothing special to see. Prague it’s kind of expensive so prepare bigger budget for this city. There are a lot of good hostels so if you can’t find a hotel in a good price you can definitely find a hostel. We were at hostel exactly at the centre of the city and everything was perfect. Most of the places are very walkable so we almost didn’t use a public transport. For the food if you want to try something traditional definitely go to a restaurant but also if you don’t like it there are also a lot of places for street food.

Prague felt mostly safe, although very crowded! The christmas markets were cool. I stayed in an all women’s hostel that was right in old town and quite nice, would definitely recommend staying there! You will enjoy if you are an architecture buff or enjoy history! I can’t comment on the party scene but I hear that it is also good.

I was in Prag and I felt really safe. We stayed in a hostel like 40 minutes from the city but it was really easy to go there by train and bus. Even at night they are great and you can experience the night life.

Olomouc
Olomouc is pretty save town. The most sketchy people are around main train station I think, but there are some police officers all the time checking the place, so it is quite calm. Over all Olomouc is not harmfull at all. I didn’t experience anything harmfull to me.

I have walked through late night Prague and nothing has ever happened to me even when drunk after clubbing. I had nothing ever happen to my friends as well. I think this is one of the safest cities in Europe.
